Some of Post's, I've seen with 250+ characters of meta description on google, but I'll recommend you to use 130 to 155 characters in your Post, Home Page, and static pages descriptions. 130 to 155 characters of post meta description is considered as healthy by experts.

2 - You should Use Powerful Language Containing Some Focus Keywords.

The power is in the language, So, why you are not using this free power? :) You should add words that describe value in your post description.
